FmA#mFm
My lover’s got humour,
A#mG#
She’s the giggle at a funeral,
A#mFm
Knows everybody’s disapproval,
A#mFm
I should’ve worshipped her sooner.
A#mFm
If the heavens ever did speak,
A#mG#
She’s the last true mouthpiece.
A#mFm
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak,
A#mD#
A fresh poison each week.
C#6
“We were born sick.” You heard them say it.
FmA#mFm
My church offers no absolutes.
A#mG#
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom.”
A#mFm
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
A#mD#
Is when I’m alone with you.
C#6
I was born sick, but I love it.
C#G#
Command me to be well.
C#G#C#mG#C#mG#G#G
Amen, amen, amen.
Chorus:
GF#Fm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#
And, good God, let me give you my life.
G#GFm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#G#G
And, good God, let me give you my life.
FmA#mFm
If I’m a pagan of the good times,
A#mG#
My lover’s the sunlight.
A#mFm
To keep the goddess on my side,
A#mD#
She demands a sacrifice.
C#6
To drain the whole sea,
Fm
Get something shiny.
A#mFm
Something meaty for the main course,
A#mG#
That’s a fine-looking high horse.
A#mFm
What you got in the stable?
A#mD#
We’ve a lot of starving faithful.
C#
That looks tasty;
C#
That looks plenty.
C#
This is hungry work.
Chorus:
Fm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#
And, good God, let me give you my life.
G#GFm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#G#G
And, good God, let me give you my life.
C#G#C7Fm
No masters or kings when the ritual begins.
FmC#G#C7Fm
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin.
FmC#G#C7Fm
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene,
FmC#G#
Only then I am human;
C7FmG#
Only then I am clean.
C#
Oh,
G#C#G#C#mG#C#mG#G#G
Oh, amen, amen, amen.
Chorus:
GF#Fm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#
And, good God, let me give you my life.
G#GFm
Take me to church.
C
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
G#
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife.
A#m
Offer me that deathless death,
FmA#G#G#G
And, good God, let me give you my life.
